A young woman living on the Alamo
street route toward Mission garden, at
tempted to destroy herself by the lauda-
nun route last night because she was
dependent on account of the fear that
her sweetheart, barkeeper In a big
saloon, had transferred his affections to
another girl. He visited her last night
and assured her that his affections were
unchanged and so they broke the lauds-
mum bottle and mutually pledged their
vows over again

A DEATH STREAM.
Clean Out the San Pedro---Death In the
Pot--Give US IA Morgue.
SAN ANTONIO, June -.


DAILY LIGWT.
Among other valuable suggestions OF
the city physician, DR.. BraunnRgle calls
attention In his annual sanitary report
to the deplOrable and dangerous cOndi-
tiOn Of san Pedro creek, and 1t is only to
be regretted that the nuisance Ia not
remedied. This creek does not contain
enough water and stream power TO flush
all the Accommodations from sewers OF all
sorts to their final destination, a great
intolerance being the many distractions
caused by accumulated filth, rock, etc.
The stencil caused thereby Is simply "im-
mense," especially at night, and II is a
wonder how the inhabitants near that
creek can bear It.
The hot season Is nearly in its full
blRst now aud will undoubtedly create
more sickness from this source alone.
Remnants Of decayed matter easily find
access to the human system by the use
of that water, and it is n fact that it is
used, either for bathing or household
purposes. Mexican senOritas wash their
corn for tOrtillas. eto., in 1t and the
property owners near this creek inhale
the evRporated obnoxious gases by day
and night.
Now, in order to remedy this condi-
tiOn OF the San Pedro creek, the most
efficient remedy would be to wall both
sides OF the creek as now suggested by
the health officer. and cleaning and ex-
cavating the creek from all accumulated
filth, rocks, etc, q suggestion by the
way, made many years ago by the for
mer city physician. BY these means
the sewerage from different sources
could be allowed running in that creek
with a great deal less, II not entire
harm, provided proper control be made
not to use that water in any instance for
drinking purposes. II such water is
boiled, It is rendered less nocuous, but il
Is by far safer to use hydrsnt and Oistern
water.
And now one more important and Of
ten discussed point in regard to NOR
que in our city. The finding of
corpses, related to In the papers
Of late, and their exhibition In a small
justice Of the peROe's office for public
inspection, is, II anything, ridiculous
and against modern civilization. We have
two hospitals where ample provisions
exist for such purposes, and, II they are
inadequate, then more suitable iDsti-
tuition should be built in the city to ex-
hibit dead bodies for Identification, and
where, at the same time, the necessary
autopsy can be performed without ex-
pOsure TO the public. DR.. NJ.

THE IMPOSTER
Who is Going Around the City and Deity
Defrauding Our Citizens


Yesterday, little after noon, two
men were seen walking towards Mr.
DOwling's residence. One remained
outside and the other went in. and see
ing Mrs. Bowling, begged assistance,
saying he WAS In distress. Mr.. DOwl-
Ing happened to lie home, and on inter-
rogsting him got no satisfaction, so he
answered him thar big strong man
like him should work rather than beg.
The same man called later on at DOwl-
ing q Floods drug store. and seeing DR..
Shropshire, begged assistance, saying
he was druggist in distress. DR..
Shropshire asked for his name and Gre
dentials, but the man would give neither
the one nor the other, Then he turned
to the drug store attendant and, pro-
ducing big roll OF greenbRcks, he called
for two bits worth OF soap, which he OBJ
tanned. Then he went of and was next
heard of at Dreiss' drug store, where he
tackled DR.. HertZberg, and, represent
ing himself as doctor, he commenced
telling long story Of his distress. DR..
HertZberg cut his story short by giving
him a dollar and excnsing himself on the
ground that he was busy.
How many more places the man Wis
tied is unknown, but one thing is quite
clear the man Is an imposter, and the
public should be warned against his ma
chinatiOns.

would be commendable in an ar
tist of much ripper age. His finger
ing is delightfully."- clear, crisp and
elastic, his readings show 8

a degree of confidence and ease that
is simply surprising, his left hand
work being especially good. The
